Melanie followed the Yorks’s servant and headed outside. Halfway through, she asked, “My car is parked near the estate’s outermost gate. Is there some other closer route?” The servant hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Then please come with me.” After walking for a while on the tiled path, she realized the servant was taking her in the direction toward Harlow’s residence, just as she had predicted. She felt better afterward. While walking past Harlow’s residence, Melanie then said to that servant. “The gate is right in front. There’s no need for you to see me off.” “The butler ordered me to take you to your car safely,” the servant insisted. Melanie smiled and showed the servant her mobile. “I need to make a call. I can do this alone.” The servant instantly understood why. All the guests here were all wealthy, and many of the contents of their calls were highly secretive, so they didn’t like others to hear about it. She politely nodded and turned back. Melanie prete
“Alright.”The woman took the name card. “Where did you get all these medicines from?”“Your Master Leo got injured tonight, and this is the medicine that the doctor gave him. He also has an external injury, so the medicine should match this boy’s needs,” Melanie said honestly.“Master Leo is a very cautious man. He’ll find out about it...” the woman said, worried.Melanie blinked and said, “I’ve only taken a little from all this medicine. However, even if he finds out, thanks to his relationship with Harlow, he won’t mention anything.”The woman clutched the medicine tightly and sobbed. “Thank you! Really, thank you!”“Come on!” The woman walked over to the boy and patted him. “Say thank you.”“It’s fine.”Melanie extended her hand and patted the boy’s head. His forehead was still a little hot.Feeling the warmth from Melanie, the boy smiled at him sincerely and relaxed. Then, he mumbled, “Sad doggy... Sad doggy...”“What is he saying?” Melanie couldn’t hear him clearly.Th
“But after our interactions today, I feel like I’ve been overthinking it. Leo told me a few times that he’s treating me well just because he was trying to be a good host and treated me as a friend,” Melanie said as she tried to organize her thoughts. “Huh?” Annie was confused. “But from how he made himself run into you earlier and how he wanted to send you to the hotel... It was obvious that he’s courting you!” Melanie sighed. “I believed that too, but the feelings that Leo gave me today were different compared to the last few times. Today, he knew where the lines were and didn’t cross them at all.” Melanie tried to remember everything that had happened earlier. “Meanwhile, the others from the York family were still doing their best to make us into a couple. It felt like... Leo suddenly found out something and didn’t want to pursue me anymore, but the others from the Yorks still didn’t know about it. They weren’t on the same page.” “Ah, this is so complicated!” Annie pout
Melanie and Annie boarded the plane and returned home on brief notice. But what they didn’t know was that, in the first-class cabin all the way up front, Jeffrey and William were sitting side by side with their curtains drawn. “Boss, you’re already here. Don’t you want me to greet them?” William asked, confused. “She doesn’t need to know,” Jeffrey said with a frown. “Tell your men to surround and protect her at all times. Don’t let anyone suspicious approach her!” He knew she wouldn’t be happy if she knew he was tailing her, but all he wanted to do was to make sure that she was safe. - Harbor City. Melanie had rested for a day. Eliza returned home from abroad that night, and the mother and daughter had a heart-to-heart for the entire night. The next day, Melanie gave Annie a call. “Annie, when I went over to your place, I remember that the apartment below you was for sale. If you’re free, can you let me look at it? If the interior decor is alright, I want to buy it.”
She was... She was still stuck with William all this while... “Mom... I’ve been trying to tell you that... William and I... We’re... Not... Anymore...” She wanted to explain that there had been nothing between her and William. But after giving it a thought, she said, “There’s been nothing between us for a long time.” “Really?” Eliza was shocked. “Then, your separation...?” “I got to know another man after that, but it’s in the past now, too... Mom, I’ll tell you all about it eventually, alright?” Melanie said. “Huh? Sure, sure.” Only then did Eliza agree to it while still baffled. After seeing Melanie leaving in her car, she shook her head and sighed. After her daughter had grown up, she also had a lot of complications. Meanwhile, Melanie could only shake her head with a bitter smile when she was in the car. She felt like she was on a rollercoaster just now... She wouldn’t have known what her mom knew if she didn’t test her, and she couldn’t help but heave a sigh
Gemma used this chance to rile up the atmosphere as her eyes moved to Grant, who was sitting in the corner.“Stop it.”Melanie smiled at Gemma and waved her hands, preparing to leave the stage.“Wait!”Suddenly, Grant got up from the corner and yelled, “Don’t leave just yet! I haven’t confessed my love for you yet!”As he said that, Grant had already walked over to the stage and stood in front of her.“Wow!”The people under the stage all cheered, not stopping even after a long time.“Gemma is just messing around. Are you going to mess around too?” Melanie said helplessly.However, Grant stood there with a serious expression on his face, “If she didn’t mess around, I would never know when I would have the bravery to confess my love to you.”“Together! Together!”The people off the stage cheered even louder.“You never told me before this that you’re in a relationship,” Grant said sincerely. “I don’t care who you loved in the past. All I want is for you give me a chance...”
When William and the driver, who were further away, heard Melanie screaming from inside the car, they immediately realized something was wrong and ran back to the car. “Madam? What’s wrong with the boss?” they instinctively asked. Melanie helped Jeffrey to sit on the seat as comfortably as possible. She wasn’t going to answer stupid questions. Instead, she looked around and asked, “Where’s the nearest hospital?” Before William could answer, Jeffrey immediately said in a coarse voice, “Go to a Morgan Group’s hospital.” Melanie glared at him. But seeing the seriousness in his eyes, she knew that his injury was a secret, and it needed to be kept a secret. Morgan Group was huge. As the leader of Morgan Group, he couldn’t let anything happen to him. If the outside world knew about his injury and spread the negative news, it would affect Morgan Group as a whole. Melanie knew about his worries, so she ordered the driver, “Go to the nearest hospital owned by the company!” “Unders
“Madam! Madam!” Melanie’s vision turned dark. Luckily, the moment she fell, William managed to react quickly and ran over to hold her. “Doctor!” William cried. Only then did the medical staff realize that Melanie had fainted and came to help her. “Melanie!” Jeffrey’s eyes instantly turned red as he struggled to get up from the bed, but two doctors held him back. “Sir! The madam merely fainted because of fatigue and worry. She’ll be fine. We’ll immediately arrange for her to get some rest in a nearby ward. But you can’t have anything happen to you anymore.” “She’s pregnant!” Jeffrey screamed with his eyes scarlet red. “She’s...” “Yes, don’t worry. We’ll guarantee her and the baby’s safety!” All the doctors guaranteed it together. “Sir, the only reason she fainted is because she was worried about you. If you care about her, then please take care of yourself first.” William agreed as he stood close by. Very quickly, the nurses pushed out another gurney. Under Jeffrey
